Yeah, I agree with you guys. Matt just needs to quit with the poor-me-I'm-gonna-be-trade-bait-in-the-summer talk and just play ball. Dudley may be the one to go this summer if he doesn't start playing well consistently.

I want the blake from when cp3 was out back - it's not that he isn't good he just isn't dominating like he was in that stretch.

Foul trouble and he doesn't need to score that much when other players are hot and can take the scoring load.

Kinda hard when he is picking up early fouls don't you think?

He knows he's being included in the LeBron trade.

It's not the points it's the way he is getting them.

He also picked up 2 stupid offensive fouls. I feel our team is more sustainable when he is the standout offensively and not Crawford.

Man, Jamal Crawford is a baller pure and simple. He's probably the greatest dollar for dollar Free Agent that the Clippers have ever signed.

Masterful performance by the Clippers as they showed absolutely no letdown from the huge win vs OKC yesterday. Jamal Crawford continued to be red-hot. Seemed like every time the Pelicans made a run to cut it single digits, Jamal would hit a key 3 to push the lead back to 10+. His ability to hit the deep ball really helps open up the rest of the Clipper offense. Another excellent game by Matt Barnes as well. Not only did he make 3's, he cut and ran the court, + played solid D without fouling much.

Blake was a little off today, but did a very good job drawing fouls and containing Anthony Davis. Chris Paul was a little passive early, but was simply terrific in the second half. That was really good synergy he had with BG. Blake's front court mate DJ had another excellent game rebounding, getting open for easy hoops, and blocking shots.

Bench-wise it was nice to see Turkoglu get hot and hit some 3's. Glen Davis will probably take some of his minutes, but if Hedo keeps playing well, Big Baby may well take Hollin's minutes instead. Good to see the much maligned Jared Dudley hit a couple of jumpers. DC was a bit shaky but still ended up with 12 points.

Huge game coming up vs the Rockets, especially since they could potentially be matched up against the Clippers in the 1st round.

"I thought when we started out the game the execution was close to flawless. We were getting dunks," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "Then we started making threes, and when you make threes it opens the middle back up. It's just really nice.

"Overall, five starters in double figures, and the ball movement on our team is just terrific," Rivers added. "When you play that unselfish with that many good players a lot of good things are going to happen."

More than making two shots, I like that he did more than just shoot, he had 4 assists, a couple rebounds, no turnovers, only 1 foul and was more active moving off the ball and he even put the ball on the floor a few times. I think he would be forgiven more for his bad shooting games if he more played well-rounded more often.

This game shows who good we can be when both of our SFs show up, we blew out a not terrible team on the second night of back to back. Barnes has strung together a few nice games in a row so hopefully he gets locked into that from now on.

Still Doc needs to get this team more locked in on the glass and defense overall. Barnes also brought up giving up over 100pts to the Pelicans was unacceptable so if we can enhance and expand the thought we would be better off.
